The consequences of driving at the speed that is believed to be traveling young people have only stated that if a vehicle is traveling at 120 kilometers per hour, "the braking distance it travels is similar to the length of a football pitch, from there it can be extrapolated at different speeds, "he concluded.

He added: "Let's hope that the day will come when an accident will be the subject of mediation, not because of the exceptional nature of the sufferer, but because what is truly exceptional, it is that it does not happen. "
